Marella Barbados Cruise Reviews

We liked the ship and found the staff very friendly and helpful. They did their best to serve you in the bars and restaurants, and also to try and keep the ship clean. The singers and musicians in the bars and around the pool where very good. The dancers and singers work very hard and we saw all the shows and enjoyed them. The food selection in the buffet and main restaurants was good, and ...

As I have cruised with marella before I must say it was our 1st time on Voyager. Where do I Start. From boarding at Barbados we were made welcome, our cabin on deck 4 was beautifully clean and equipped with everything we needed especially storage, great size shower and toilet area and comfortable beds . Then the dining areas, we were spoiled for choice, the food was perfection with so ...

I got this for my Wife's 60th birthday as she has been on several cruises but it was my first time. We booked a 2 week cruise round the Carribbean and I was totally smitten by it all the ship was fantastic the crew were always smiling and very helpful the Captain had a fantastic sence of humour and always had time to talk to you. The entertainment was generally quite good but there was a few ...

The balcony cabin and bathroom was lovely, and maintained to a lovely standard. The staff are fantastic, with special acknowledgement to Leandro (Atrium Bar), Ni (Sushi restaurant) and Rodrigo (Bar 11), who were exceptional. The drinks package was well worth the additional £90, with quality premium drinks available. The main downfall was the food, it was difficult to book into the ...

I thought I would take this opportunity to write a review of our 2 week (7 day back to back ) Caribbean Island Cruise on the Marella Voyager. 21st Jan to 4th Feb 2024. We booked it for my 60th birthday which fell mid holiday. Having only been on one cruise previously ( 10 days Mediterranean on Celebrity ) we stiil feel we are relative novices at this type of holiday. Before I start to make my ...

We had an amazing 2 weeks on this ship. i will say that the buffett was lovely but it was the same every day. We ended up in the restaurants for a change. We had a balcony cabin and it was lovely. the house keeping we just could not fault. in twice a day fresh coffee and tea. If you put your towels on the bsthroom floor you get fresh ones. you get beach towels too. If You get ...

Overall this was a very disappointing cruise. It was always overcrowded with limited sunbeds during sea days and seats in the evening. Everywhere you went you had to queue up. We only ever had the use of a waiter on two occasions in a fortnight. Every drink had to be queued for at the bar. The service was really poor. A great selection of drinks to enjoy when eventually you did get ...

We have sailed with Marella, Thomson, Tui for somewhere between 15 to 20 cruises. We have loved sailing with them, but this last cruise has left us questioning whether we should try other cruise providers. The ship is something of a mixed bag. Crew as always with one exception were excellent. The entertainment was good, I thought it was better than many of our recent cruises with them. The ...

We have always booked with TUI, and as my uncles 50th birthday was approaching last year we decided to book a cruise around the Caribbean! My aunt and uncle unfortunately had to cancel due to health reasons but myself, mum and dad still went. Our flight out was on the 28th December 2023 and we flew home from Barbados (one of the negative factors, nothing on TUI or Marella though) on the 11th ...

Memorable cruise but unfortunately memorable for all the wrong reasons, if you’re looking for a cruise with good food, luxury accommodation, excellent service, then do not book this. Butlins has more quality than this cruise. Food was typical British like Bacon, eggs and baked beans for breakfast. Buffet at dinner had a lot of choice but wasn’t the best quality, cold food and over cooked. If ...
